Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, ComputEL-4 will be hosted entirely online. Submission and notification deadlines have been extended to reflect this change.

————————————————————————————————

The ComputEL-4 workshop will focus on the use of computational methods in the study, support, and revitalization of endangered languages. The primary aim of the workshop is to continue narrowing the gap between computational linguists interested in working on methods for endangered languages, field linguists working on documenting these languages, and the language communities who are striving to maintain their languages.

We take seriously the goal of reaching all relevant communities. To support this goal, ComputEL-4 aims to alternate between co-location with computational linguistics conferences and with language documentation conferences.

The revised submission deadline for ComputEL-4 is September 30, 2020, with notifications of acceptance being sent out by November 15, 2020. Camera-ready versions for publication will be due on January 25, 2021. Please see the call for papers for more information.

The first ComputEL workshop was co-located with the main conference of the Association for Computational Linguistics in Baltimore in 2014. The proceedings of ComputEL-1 were published online by ACL and are available at: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W14-2200.pdf

The second ComputEL workshop, ComputEL-2, was co-located with the 5th International Conference of Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC5) in Honolulu, Hawai’i, in March 2017. The proceedings of ComputEL-2 were published online by ACL and are available at: http://aclweb.org/anthology/W17-01
